Anyone ever smoke peppercorns? From what I can tell the process is to heat a hot cast iron skillet or wok and put in peppercorns until they start to smoke. Other suggestions?

somebody shut me the fark up.
I have done what you suggest for Chinese cooking, but, never for storage. The oils go bad fast once toasted like that. It does add more pungency to the peppercorns, I suggest that cold smoking might be worth exploring.

I cold smoked peppercorns this year to mimic McCormick's Smokehouse Black Pepper. Then when I grind them up, they have a great smoky flavor. I do a batch about every 2-3 months.
I just put them on a plate in my Big Green Egg and run my cold smoke generator (can with wood chips and a soldering iron!) for about 2 hours.
